Open muck this hand? Was trying for a steal and with 2.15:1 i guess i had to call. Although i don't think with Ax we're running too good against a restealing range. I'm putting him on something like 77+ AJ+ ATs+
a) A8o is marginal for stealing from CU, and BB is in a very comfortable re-stealing seat here, about 10BB is an excellent stack size for a resteal.
b) Raise sizing is also very provocative for a re-steal, mb he would be less tempted if minraise (which also lets you get away from your hand easier if he pushes due to odds).
BB should never be actually restealing here as his stack is too shallow to create any decent fold equity. He has only little over 7bb stack. If hero open raise with A8o here BB shove should always be called. If you are not ready to do that then just fold. Or if he is very tight and we don't want to call if he shove then just use minraise.
Hi all,
I probably just fold this from CO and openraise from BU. If one of the players in the blinds was even shorter stacked I think it's fine. BB has no fold equity anyway so his range is pretty tight. Nevertheless we are very much committed vs his stacksize regardless of what we openraised to.
